Drying tips
– Always check the weight
recommendation for maximum loads
as listed in the "Program Overview"
section.
Overloading will cause wear and
tear on the laundry, give a poor
drying result and cause more
creasing.
–
Do not dry fabrics that are still
soaking wet! After washing, spin
fabrics for at least 30 seconds.
–
Dry mixed loads of cottons, colors
and easy-care fabrics in the in the
Express program.
–
Open jackets
so that they dry evenly.
–
Woolens and wool blends
tend to
mat and shrink. Only handle these
fabrics in the Woolens program.
–
The linings of down-filled garments
,
depending on quality, tend to shrink.
Handle these fabrics only in the
Smoothing program.
– Pure linens
are dried only when
indicated on the care label.
Otherwise the fabric may become
rough. Handle these fabrics only in
the Smoothing program.
– Cottons (such as T-shirts and
underwear) depending on quality,
often shrink at the first wash.
Therefore: to avoid further shrinkage,
do not over-dry these textiles.
–
Starched laundry
may be dried. To
achieve the usual finish, however,
use a double amount of starch.
–
Wash new colored fabrics
separately
before the first drying. Do not dry
them together with light-colored
fabrics since their colors may run
and discolor other garments or even
plastic dryer components.
